Application filed October 14; 1911'. Serial No. 654,757.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Animus ANDERSEN:

PINDSTOFTE, 1 annfacturer, subject of the Kingdom [ofd senmark, residing at No. 62 Frederiksberg alle, inthe city of Copenhagen, Denmark, have invented new and useful Improvements in PasteurizingApparatus, of which the following 15 a specifica-' tion. 7

The invention has for its object improvements in pasteurizing-apparatus of that kind which the bottles are placed in bottlebottle-baskets sliding pieces, which can slide in a direction transverse to or oblique to the d rection of movement and which, -\vhen the bottle-baskets are moved through the -Water-reservoir slide outward and come in contact with' the walls of the water-reservoir so thatthe water ezmnot pass along the outer side faces of the bottle-baskets but is caused to pass through said bottle-baskets.

I Constrnctioual forms for the invention are shown in the drawing. l I

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a part of a wator-reservoir and bottle-baskets placed therein. section through the water-reservoir on line Kat Fig. 1 and seen in the direction oi the 3 is a partial section of a bottle-basket seen from above. Fig. l -is a front view of a modification of thebottle The bottle-baskets a are moved through the water-reservoir b by meansof rollers (1 running along rails on the upgfer edge of the The bottle-baskets are moved in the opposite direct'iono'f the curved arrow 1 shown in Fig. 1,.

Fig. 2 1s a transverse which arrow indicates the direetion in which fhe water is moved through the bottle-basrets. I

In the ends of the front Wall dot the bottle-baskets, which in a known manner vcan be movable up and down, and which slides'on the bottom of the water-reservoir,

are arranged notches'e for sliding pieces f,

which'constitute 'shiftable closures; bolts g passing through inclined slots in said-closnres'for permitting automatic shifting of the latter into yielding contact with the res ervoir walls under the action of gravity; The sliding-pieces are forced into the notches c if,during the insertion of the bottle-baskets into' the water-reservoirany re? sistance is produced, but else they slide out Patented May 28,1912.

of the notches and conie incontact with the sidewalls of the walter-reservoir (see left hand side of Fig. 2) so that the water cannot pass between the outer side faces ot the bottle-baskets and the walls of the waterreservoirbut is caused to pass through the baskets. The notches 0 have such a sloping that the sliding-pieces always tcudto slide outward on account of their own weight.

In the modification shown in Fig. l the notches for the sliding-pieces are not sloping. The sliding-pieces are in such case pressed outward by .means of springs h arranged in the rear of said slidiugpieces (see the left hand side of the figure).
